ShipBob ASN promise is not sellable inventory
On a ShipBob inbound receipt, the ASN count is only a promise. Received minus damaged is sellable. Shortfall ÷ ASN × 100 is SB ASN variance %. Enter all three.
Pair: Inbound ASN variance on Stock. Fullstack sibling: Fullstack ASN. ShipMonk sibling: ShipMonk ASN.
What you enter
ASN units — expected units on that ShipBob inbound ASN / PO line.
Received — gross units ShipBob accepted at the dock for that receipt.
Damaged — accepted units ShipBob tagged damaged / unsellable on that same receipt.
Sellable = received − damaged. Shortfall = ASN − sellable. When SB ASN variance % is material, chase the vendor or the ShipBob dock seat — leave blank chips alone.
Hard stops
Leave SB ASN variance % blank rather than invent. Keep Fullstack and ShipMonk receive rows out of ShipBob boxes. Keep ASN out of on-hand cover math. Keep damaged in the shortfall when received looks complete.

FAQ
- Is this Fullstack inbound ASN variance?
- Different 3PL dock. [Inbound ASN variance](/manuals/fullstack-inbound-asn-variance) stays on Fullstack. ASN / received / damaged never leave ShipBob here.
- Is this ShipMonk inbound ASN variance?
- Separate 3PL book. [Inbound ASN variance](/manuals/shipmonk-inbound-asn-variance) stays on ShipMonk. ShipBob owns every count here.
- What SB ASN variance % should I invent?
- None. Pull ASN, received, and damaged from the same ShipBob receive report.
